City/County courts 10:25 Mar 26, 2009
This isn't correct. Although City Court is not used in the UK, the differences in the two countries' legal systems does not make an accurate comparison possible.
Byretten is the court of first instance, which in the UK would be the Magistrate's Court or the County Court, depending on the nature of the case. County Courts, which have a judge presiding, usually without the assistance of a jury, try solely civil cases. Magistrate's Courts try minor criminal cases, with lay magistrates or district judges presiding, but without juries.
Byretten, which Chaffey defines as the City Court to differentiate it from herredsretten in country districts, which he defines as the District Court, tries both civil and criminal cases. |
